does fan blow cold or not at all?
Thinking heater core implies fan running;
Checking fuses sorta implicates fan not running

please clarify

Possible cause for no heat...Either the thermostat is stuck open, which mine was, or theres air in the system.

Let me know if I am wrong.

Just being low on coolant will cause no heat. So for us to sit here and guess whats going on is just that....guessing. One of us is sure to guess right.

So he checked the fuses....why did he check the fuses? Maybe because the blower motor is not blowing?

He says the car is running at the proper temp, does that mean he can feel heat on the heater hoses?
